The Game Developers Conference is returning to the Moscone Center in San Francisco, March 19-23, 2018, and while organizers have closed submissions for Main Conference talks they're currently accepting pitches for Summit sessions!
Specifically, officials are open to pitches for talks that would be a good fit for the Virtual Reality Developers Conference @ GDC (or just VRDC@GDC), GDC Summits, and the Game Career Seminar through Friday, September 29th at 11:59 pm Pacific Time!
Today we want to quickly highlight the GDC Community Management Summit, a block of sessions and panels aimed at giving community management professionals room to share knowledge and hone their craft.
The one-day Community Management Summit will cover every corner of this quickly evolving, crucial facet of video game development. Summit content will focus on how to inspire, build and maintain user loyalty and enthusiasm through the ups and downs of community opinion and adoption. It will discuss how to manage your community's needs and interests to align with your company's goals. Attend the summit to learn best practices and hear industry experts share case studies and postmortems on cutting edge community management strategies.
